Barclay Card FICO Scores

[Repo-ed]

Barlcay sent me an update 12/31, and just sent me another update just now.

+1 pt, which I'll gladly take - but do they send them randomly or is there a schedule like wal-mart?

I got mine today, too. My score went up significantly, from 677 to 695! I'm close to 700 for the first time in years.

It seems to be random and sparse for my updates. Wal-mart is like clockwork but Barclays hasn't updated anything since the beginning of December. I've had significant score improvements in the meantime but nada, nothing, zilch from barclays.

I'm curious about this one too. I also have the Barclay card and I was under the impression that it updated every 3 months, but I did get a score update last month (only a month after activating the FICO feature).

The pattern mine seems to fall into is that I get an email when my FICO changes.  Such as:  when my FICO dropped 2 points and then last week when it jumpted 50 points up to 698 (soooooo close).  The jump was my chapter 13 was removed this month instead of February.  Experian removed it last month, but Equifax will hold onto it until the last moment. 

But mine seems to be anytime there is a change..

Barclays told me it's updated every 10 weeks, but I've noticed it gets updated anytime something significant (Hard Pull, significant balance increase, etc...) hits my report.  I think it's done when they perform an AR.

Mine updated twice within 12 days.
